West Beach Tours and Activities

We were attracted to the Blossom because of the attractive pictures and the cost/quality of the room ratio seemed like a good alternative to the centrally located city hotels. As other have mentioned, the mandatory valet arrangement is annoying in terms of cost, the lobby is not nearly as grand as the pictures, staff is more in line with a 2-3 star hotel, no eye contact and overall unpleasant demeanor. Our king studio turned out to be inadequate for our family, the manager tried to sell us hard on a $50 roll out bed before giving in. Unless you want to be near hospitals, the location is a ghost town, nothing walkable. They stiffed us 8 bucks for a shirley temple and refill for my son, the attractive lobby bar was not open on a saturday night. The pool was fairly nice but had a seedy party crowd which seemed like the crowd the hotel attracts. The shuttle bailed us out of having to take an uber both ways to find some sort of place to eat. All in all, would have made out better spending a few bucks more and being in the heart of the city considering we only had one night to take in Houston. Others might find this property appealing based on their needs, we just felt it was overrated.

The staff at La Colombe d'Or are fantastic! Every guest is treated as if they are truly special. Many places say this - this hotel actually does this.
